Summary of Your Gang:
The Knights Templar was a medieval Christian military order formed in the early 12th century. Their full name was the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon. Initially, they were established to protect Christian pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land after the First Crusade, and the order quickly gained wealth and power. They were known for wearing distinctive white mantles adorned with a red cross.

The Knights Templar became influential in military and financial matters, earning a reputation for their bravery in battle and establishing a vast network of properties and monetary resources across Europe. They functioned as a medieval banking and financial institution, creating innovative financial tools such as letters of credit and banking services. This economic power contributed to their widespread influence in medieval Europe.
However, the order faced a dramatic downfall in the early 14th century. King Philip IV of France, who owed money to the Knights Templar, sought to strengthen his power and erase his debts by systematically targeting the order. Accused of heresy, questionable practices, and other charges, the order was disbanded by Pope Clement V, and many of its members were arrested and executed.

In the heart of the bustling Silverton City, a new order has risen from the ashes of history, carrying on the spirit and principles of the ancient Knights Templar. This modern iteration of the order, led by a charismatic and enigmatic figure named Michael Gundemar, retains the name "The Knights Templar.”
The Knights Templar are a secretive group, operating in the shadows of the cities, similar to their historical predecessors. They draw inspiration from the rich history of the original Knights Templar and seek to uphold their tradition of chivalry, loyalty, and protection.

In an urban landscape filled with both danger and opportunity, the Knights Templar has taken on their historical roles as protectors of the innocent, defenders of justice, and seekers of hidden truths. Their network extends throughout the city, and they are known for their distinctive symbolism – a modern twist on the classic white mantles adorned with a red cross.
Similar to the original Knights Templar, the new Templars have significant influence both in matters of security and finance. Operating discreetly, the order has established a reputation for bravery and unwavering commitment to their cause.

In the cities where power, wealth, and ambition collide, the Knights Templar remains a mysterious and illustrious force, drawing both admiration and suspicion. Their reborn legacy continues to captivate the imagination of many, and rumors of their existence fuel countless urban legends and conspiracy theories. Yet, the true purpose and activities of the Knights Templar remain shrouded in secrecy, known only to those who are part of their enigmatic brotherhood.
